Arsenal entertain West Ham in the Premier League on Tuesday and the subject of Arsène Wenger's future is likely to be raised at Monday's pre-match media briefing. The French newspaper L'Equipe reports that Paris Saint-Germain are considering making yet another approach for the Frenchman, who has stated that he will sign a new contract with the Premier League club but has yet to put pen to paper.

Wenger has previously turned down offers to manager PSG, Real Madrid and England to stay at the Emirates but his loyalty may well be tested should Arsenal fail to qualify for next season's Champions League.

Wenger may also face interrogatory projectiles concerning the intentions of his right-back Bacary Sagna, who is approaching the end of his contract with Arsenal and also wanted by PSG. In the event of Sagna's departure, Toulouse's 21-year-old Ivorian defender Serge Aurier has been lined up as a £15m replacement. "You can't refuse an offer from Arsenal," he said, apparently unaware that the man he is likely to replace plans to do exactly that.

Loïc Rémy is another of many in-demand Frenchmen giving serious consideration to their futures. Currently recovering from injury at Newcastle, where he is on loan from Queens Park Rangers, the 27-year-old striker has told French TV show Telefoot that he wishes to move to a "big European club". Arsenal, PSG and Atlético Madrid are all interested in signing Rémy, who has no intention of making his move to Newcastle permanent after spending a season observing owner Mike Ashley's lack of ambition from close quarters. "Rémy wants to play Champions League football next season, so they tell me," said the QPR manager Harry Redknapp last week. "'The chances of us keeping him are not great if he's got a buy-out clause."

In yet more news pertaining to disaffected Frenchmen with itchy feet, Tottenham Hotspur have accepted that their goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is off to take the PSG petro-euro and are hoping to prise Ben Foster away from West Brom to replace him.

Rumours abound that Chelsea have already agreed a £50m to sign striker Diego Costa from Atlético Madrid in a deal that will be "done and dusted" on 30 June. If they're true, the club's bean counters won't have enjoyed the sight of their investment being taken off on a stretcher after suffering a very unpleasant looking leg injury while scoring his side's second goal in a 2-0 win at Getafe on Sunday.

At top speed and full stretch, Costa bravely took one for the team, clattering into an upright as he prodded home a cross from the right and was left screaming from the pain of a badly lacerated left shin. The wound has been stitched and the striker is expected to be fit to lead the line for his current employers when they take on his future employers in the semi-final of the Champions League. Chelsea are also reported to be after the Hamburg midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu, a Turkish midfielder who does not have a gaping hole in his leg, but is halfway through a four-year deal with the Bundesliga side.

Should Fulham pull of a most improbable escape from the drop, their manager Felix Magath will reinforce his squad with some Teutonic steel in the shape of the 31-year-old Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Alex Meier. Magath also likes the cut of the 21-year-old Wolfsburg full-back Ricardo Rodriguez's jib and plans to bring the Switzerland international to Craven Cottage if he can convince him of the benefits of repeatedly running up and down big hills in pre-season training.
